While I mainly agree with your other arguments, I don't see why you
would need the powere of several stars unless you want to put the
beacons at the same distance as the pulsars. If you want a set of
beacons just to cover a limited volume of space, you could put them
much nearer and use directional emitters, both of which drastically
reduces the power requirements.
